Care home fish and chips for your care home visit in Boxgrove
Some residents need texture-modified food, which should come from the home’s own kitchen and care team. We’re frequently asked to cater family days and residents’ birthdays and anniversaries, serving haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
For a care home near Boxgrove, tell us about lanes and the drive. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Tell us about residents’ needs in writing
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Plan portion sizes with us
- Organise staff to carry food in
Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Inviting families makes it even more special.

Yes. Add them to your numbers.
Can you cook in the rain?
